515 Struggling with God

Luke 13:18-28

 

SYNOPSIS: The order in which things appear in the Brit HaDasha is vitally important to the lesson Messiah is teaching in the Brit Hadasha. Each part must be first understood by the reader before going further. For when we jump ahead it leads to an erroneous conclusion. When we do not have a solid understanding from a solid biblical thought process it could lead to catastrophic eternal consequences. Why does Yeshua speak about mustard seed and yeast before telling those Hebrew people and us to struggle and wrestle for your blessing?

 

SECTION 1: WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMPARED WITH? The order of the word is vitally important to its understanding. In section one of this expository style message we will look into the attributes of a mustard seed. Where do they come from? What is their DNA? Why does Yeshua then speak about yeast? What are the properties of yeast? Why then travel on the road to the Holy city and be asked who is getting into heaven? And reply struggle for your blessings?

 

SECTION 2: WRESTLING FOR THE BLESSING WHEN ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS WALK IN IT. So many times we are in a struggling with Yehovah. We do not trust. We covet other people things. We struggle to understand our place. Many people wrestle with Yehovah all the time and do not even comprehend it. We see in the scripture that the Patriarchs had to fight with Yehovah and even one physically wresting with His son in the dark to get a blessing. Today learn the Biblical Hebrew understanding of struggling with God and holding on for dear life’s blessings.
